Subject: [PATCH] libmount: do not unnecessarily chmod utab.lock
Date: Thu,  9 Jan 2020 16:52:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200109235241.31865-1-tycho@tycho.ws> (raw)

Before ecfeae90a294 ("libmount: Ensure utab.lock mode 644"), you could do
something like:

irc:/tmp umount --version
umount from util-linux 2.27.1 (libmount 2.27.0: selinux, assert, debug)
irc:/tmp mkdir foo bar
irc:/tmp unshare -Urm
irc:/tmp mount --bind foo bar
irc:/tmp umount bar
irc:/tmp echo $?
0

However, afterwards, you get:

/tmp unshare -Urm
/tmp mount --bind foo bar
/tmp umount bar
umount: /tmp/bar: filesystem was unmounted, but failed to update userspace mount table.

Because of the chmod failing:

fchmod(3, 0644)                         = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

Let's figure out whether the chmod is necessary before doing it, and only
do it if it is necessary. This won't fix cases where the system is already
broken, but at least on healthy systems umount will behave as before.
